Moore now leads one of the Mid-South’s premier volunteer organizations to engage more than 400 partner agencies and 35,000-plus volunteers to serve communities across the Mid-South.

In her new role as Director of Volunteer Memphis and Community Outreach, Moore will identify opportunities, programs, and channels to mobilize volunteers, volunteer leaders, community leaders, and stakeholders as she links them to non-profit organizations. Moore will oversee the Volunteer Memphis Awards, an event scheduled for June 15 that will celebrate more than 300,000 Mid-South volunteers who selflessly give their time to help those in need.

“Project management, consultation, and relationship building are skills that I have successfully executed during my career, so I’m excited to work with Volunteer Memphis to support our local volunteers and community partners in our mission of impacting the Mid-South through volunteerism,” said Ebony Moore, Director of Volunteer Memphis and Community Outreach.

Moore has successfully used her skills in project management, consultation, and relationship building to identify and actualize opportunities for business growth, workforce development, and community development.
